I don’t know of any tiny red garden pest but red spider mite, which usually likes hot conditions so become a pest as the weather heats up. You want to stay ahead of these sucking insects by hosing them off plants with a spray of water regularly, so that they can’t successfully make a happy home there (and create their webs, multiply, etc.). That’s what I’d do now, and regularly. Sorry not to see your question as "new" on my admin board here until now–not sure why. Technology!Margaret

Podcast: Soups, Soups & More Soups

I’VE FOLLOWED a vegetarian diet for decades already, but it wasn’t until just a few years ago that I finally mastered a really good version of vegetable soup. Now I’m learning variations on vegetable-based soups, plus ones with beans and even ideas for mushroom soups, too–all thanks to my friend Alexandra Stafford. (Stream it below or subscribe free.)
